India’s largest apparel trade show, the National Garment Fair (NGF), returns for its 81st edition with a transformative new approach. Organised by the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India (CMAI), the NGF will now be held in two distinct phases to enhance buyer experience and increase exhibitor capacity.
-
Kidswear Fair: June 23–25, 2025
-
Menswear & Womenswear Fair: July 14–16, 2025
Both events will take place at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO), Mumbai, expecting over 35,000 buyers and featuring over 1400 brands across categories.
The new format allows over 580 kidswear, 800 menswear & womenswear, and 40 accessories brands to showcase their latest collections in focused segments spread across over 57,000 sqm of exhibition space.
Santosh Katariya, President, CMAI, noted that domestic manufacturers are seeing major opportunities with new policies curbing garment imports from Bangladesh, giving Indian MSMEs greater momentum in a restructured global supply chain.
Rohit Munjal, Chairman, CMAI’s Fair Committee, highlighted the fair’s unmatched popularity, with demand outpacing stall availability every year. The two-phase model directly responds to this overwhelming interest.
Anand Chokshi, Joint Chairman, Fair Sub-Committee, added that India’s fashion market is primed for growth amid a surge in festive demand, rising sustainability awareness, and evolving consumer habits.
Recognised as the most influential B2B apparel trade platform in India, the NGF continues to evolve, offering stronger sourcing, networking, and retail collaboration opportunities for all fashion stakeholders.
